Kanazawa Share House GAOoo, hotel in Kanazawa

Set just 1.8 km from Kenrokuen Garden, Kanazawa Share House GAOoo offers accommodation in Kanazawa with access to a garden, a shared lounge, as well as a shared kitchen.

This stay was one of our highlights of our first Japan trip, even though we only stayed for one night. We felt very welcomed and the owners are so kind and sweet - you could really tell how much effort they put in to make this stay as pleasant as possible (and Gao is so cute!). We had big and heavy suitcases, but Soku even helped us carrying them to the room upstairs. Sleeping on the futon was comfy and we had everything we needed. It was a nice break from the busy big city. It's a pity that we only stayed there one night. We will definitely come back and stay for longer next time!

    Very lovely guest house with a great host. Pleasant change to the usual choice of more or less soulless hotels if you want something more unique. I visited for a couple of days to see Kanazawa. Would definitely choose this accommodation again. Medium-duration walk to the city centre.

    Beautiful and quaint traditional style guesthouse. come here for a proper traditional Japanese stay experience. The host was lovely and they have created a traditional feel with modern renovations and comforts like air conditioning and bathroom facilities. Out of the busier downtown area but walkable (20-30 mins) or by bus.
